The happenings lately...longggg post!

We have been SO busy it seems like lately!!

Brynlee of course always keeps us on our toes and she is so talkative lately. I swear I could listen to her and watch her all day. She is so funny! She found her tongue so is constantly sticking it out at you. She has also learned to "mock" us so when we do things she loves to follow with the same movement back. We will have lots of conversations after work about her day with Grandpa and she loves to tell me stories.

One of my favorite things is in the morning before I leave for work I always ask her to give mama a smiles, and she has NEVER failed me! I always get the biggest cheesiest grin! It's awesome and makes my day every single day! Speaking of work, going back to work is getting a little easier. I wouldn't say its easy to leave Brynlee, ever. But it is becoming more "normal" and we definitly have a routine down these days. She eats and naps at the same time practically everyday. She is sleeping 8 hours solid during the night which of course makes me smile :) She goes to bed at 10pm every night and wakes up like clockwork at 545. I know her bedtime is late, but its when we go to bed and wake up, so it's working for us. As she gets older we will of course scoot her bedtime back, but for now, it works.

She started swimming lessons today! It was so much fun. There was about 7 other babies in the class. Brynlee was the youngest one there at 3 1/2 months but there were some close followers at 4 months and 4 1/2 months. The oldest was 5 1/2 months... and shockingly... oh wait, maybe not... Brynlee was the BIGGEST baby! Youngest baby there... and the biggest. hahah! We have a serious chunker on our hands. The instructor warned us prior to the class that she may not make it the whole 30 minutes that most babies only last 10-15 minutes, but of course Brynlee showing off... made it all 30 minutes and then some! We were soooo proud of her! The point of swimming lessons this young is to get them accumulated to the water. They do do submersions but for now we opted out, until we get comfortable with it and she gets used to it more. The place is awesome, indoors and heated pools! So Brynlee had no problem with the water at all! Proud mama and daddy!

Our house is coming along... they are finished with the insulation and started drywalling last week! When we go next weekend it will probably be all stucco'd! Then once that is done things will really start to move... they will do flooring and cabinets, then all the small details! We are still on schedule to close August 15th! We have been contacting pool companies for bids, figure, might as well start workin em now! I am in sales and I know the longer I drag them along the lower my price will be :) We hope to start building the pool in November! Our goal is to have the backyard completed by Christmas. Well... that is MY goal... Ryan thinks I am being ambitious, but might as well shoot for the stars and if we come up short, then I guess January will do!!

Anyways, sorry for rambling but its been a while!! Hope you all have an amazing Fathers Day tomorrow! I know we will! Post about that coming soon!!
